Oxbow Western Timothy Hay Small Animal Food

I typically get small pet select first cut Timothy hay. I order on chewy for all of my other bunny supplies. I get my toys from here, my pellets from here and my hay. I wanted to try Oxbow western Timothy hay because it’s cheaper than small pet select and since I order everything else from Chewie I figured I’d give it a try. Overall I was really disappointed. The hay is in super small pieces and super hard to get out of the box. My bunnies did not enjoy it as much as the small patch select Timothy hay. If the hay was in full long pieces I think overall it would be a good product. Still love Chewy though!

This product was recommended by chewy to me after another product didn't hold up very well and this product is a good one comes in a big box like the description says there is allot of hay in it and it was all green hay to boot so yes this product is a good one to buy and use also my guinea pigs preferred this hay over the last as well so got a good review from the guinea pigs as well

Oxbow will always be a trusted and recommended brand for me! The bulk sizes of their hay is super handy, especially when you have four hay eaters in your pack! Neither my rabbits, nor my guinea pigs have ever had an issue with the texture, smell, or taste of Oxbow hays. And both pigs are sort of picky, too, so that speaks for itself! Occasionally I’ll get a box where the hay is cut a bit shorter than I like. I’ll have issues with the hay falling out of the rack from my animals’ just moving the rack while eating. Even then, the hay is still a vibrant green color and still has a wonderful texture and smell, so it’s not too bothersome.

I have 2 rabbits, so I bought the 25 lb box to stock up and save money. My bunnies love the smaller size bags (9lb and under) but apparently with the larger boxes the hay is all stems. Which they won't eat. So now I have a huge box of hay that they'll only eat a small percentage of and I have to buy more already so they'll start eating normally again. It's been so bad that their digestion has been thrown off, so I don't have a choice but to buy something else. Save yourself time and money and just get the smaller portions!

Before buying this 25lb box, I had last purchased the 9lb box of Oxbow hay and I wasn’t very impressed. My piggies ate it but there were SO many hard pieces that it literally hurt me to grab it out of the box. I would say it was 92% hard pieces. I worried that it would poke them and they didn’t really get in their hay/litter box they just stood outside of it. Now this 25lb box AMAZING! It will last me probably 3 months (my best guess, possibly longer!) it is the hay I was looking for. It is the perfect blend of soft and crunchy and has tons of flowers which is my pigs favorite part. It smells great and is very green. If I had the room to store it I would order the 50lb box next time now that Before buying this 25lb box, I had last purchased the 9lb box of Oxbow hay and I wasn’t very impressed.

We buy this 50lb Oxbow box because we have 6 bunnies who go through a lot of hay, and this is typically the best value. Our last 2 boxes have been incredibly dusty and our buns will only eat the larger strands of hay. We love Oxbow, they're a great quality brand, but these boxes have been such a let down.

You buy a large 50 lb box of hay you get a large 50 lb box of hay. The hay's quality is pretty consistent and I've bought many boxes. They don't hand sort the larger quantities but I've never found that to be an issue. It's a good deal.

I’ve always used this hay for as long as I’ve had bunnies. However, the last couple boxes I’ve purchased have been very short strands of hay, almost as if I got the bottom of the barrel in the packaging. I really hope it doesn’t happen again because I’ll have to switch brands.

This has been my go-to order for several years of having guinea pigs, and I love the large size since guinea pigs sure do go through a bunch of hay for being tiny fur potatoes. But the past four or so orders that I have gotten have been far more dusty and just generally of lesser quality. My girls are leaving much more of the hay uneaten, and I have encountered little pieces of what I assume is blue twine from the bales being tied together that have gotten mixed in with my hay. I am still confident in most other oxbow products for my girls, and I understand that their quality control for larger portions like the 50 pound box just might be more difficult, but with the dusty factor and the bits This has been my go-to order for several years of having guinea pigs, and I love the large size since guinea pigs sure do go through a bunch of hay for being tiny fur potatoes.

Hope this helps someone! :) … more

This product is usually good although this time it came in little bits and shreded parts I always buy this brand but this time it came and it was really bad.
